About "Farmer: Fair Phyllis I Saw Sitting All Alone" by The King's Singers
Farmer's 'Fair Phyllis' is a pastoral miniature, but The King's Singers find the loneliness at its heart. The solo voice wanders a sunlit field, answered by a chorus that feels like a distant memory. The tension is between the idyllic setting and the solitary figure within it.
